Question

why sodium oxide is of basic nature

Answer 1

Why is sodium oxide basic?

It is basic because it contains the oxide ion, O2-, which is a very strong base with a high tendency to combine with hydrogen ions. Reaction with water: Sodium oxide reacts exothermically with cold water to produce sodium hydroxide solution. ... Reaction with acids: As a strong base, sodium oxide also reacts with acids.
